This season of TUF...

Post by Shapecharge »

Anybody watching? I am turning into a real big fan of Chael Sonnen. I think he's doing a great job of coaching.

No, you said that you're turning into a big fan, and he wrote that book last year...just wondering if you read it. The allure of Chael is his snarky smartassness and epic trash talking. If you like that, then you will like the book.

Okay, understand now.

I haven't paid much attention to him at all until this season of TUF and I have enjoyed watching his coaching style and his one-on-one chats with the fighters.

Chael is one of the smartest coaches that has been on the show. His advice on emotions & self-doubt sounded straight out of Constructive Living - "Live with self-doubt and Do."

His take on Game Plans was pretty funny.

His good coaching is a result of growing up wrestling and coaching wrestling. I missed the last episode but this year the editing and production style is much better than in the past. The format is stale though. It will be interesting to see Viacom/Bellator's upcoming MMA reality show. It is apparently going to be similar to The Voice, which I've never seen, with 4 coaches: Couture, Greg Jackson,Joe Warren, and Frank Shamrock

I really like Chael but have not seen the episodes. I'll have to Netflix if they have it. I'd really like to hear what he said concerning emotions and self-doubt. I always found that stuff very interesting when it comes to sports and competition.

I really like women's asses too. Actually, I really really like everything about fine women. What were we talking about?

IMO he's a shitty coach. I mean he doesn't even yell "UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP!" whenever his guys get taken down.

That made me laugh, you mad bitch.

I also like the way the coaches shout "Niiice" when their fighter does the most pathetic-glancing-didn't-work leg kick or jab. Like the judges are going to be swayed and the other guy is going to be totally demoralized.

And when between the coach offers nothing beyond "How much do you want it". Like, thanks for nothing.
It's great to be first at last
